Eggs are an absolute staple in my house. Most mornings, I eat eggs in some fashion - in a scramble, an omelet, over easy with bacon and veggies on the side. I don't get burnt out on food too often.
But, sometimes I feel that way about eggs. And when that happens, you just have to switch up your egg game.
Are you with me on that? If you are, then it's time to try to poach 'em.
Poaching is notoriously tricky to do just right. But with the use of my favorite kitchen gadget (hellooooo Instant Pot), you can get it right every single time. And it is stupid easy to do.
Basically, you can crack the eggs into a small container and put that ...

Marinated Raw Feta
I know, I know...this recipe isn't strictly Paleo. We have been publishing Paleo content for over five years, and we're still huge believers in the power of a Paleo lifestyle.
But we know interests are changing as well. You have probably noticed that we've got more keto - and just foundational nutrition and lifestyle - articles here as well recently. And we've got great feedback on these types of posts. So we're rolling with it.
If you follow a Paleo diet, but choose to include dairy occasionally, most people would consider that to be "Primal." For the record, I don't particularly care what you label it. Just saying that you eat real ...

Congratulations To Primal Kitchen!
Congrats to our friends over at Primal Kitchen!
On November 29th, the Kraft Heinz Company agreed to aquire Primal Kitchen for $200 million - a deal to be completed in early 2019. As I’m sure you know, Kraft Heinz is famous for its ketchup and various condiments. They also own Miracle Whip.
This move by Kraft Heinz to buy Primal Kitchen can be seen as a way for the company to compete with society’s demand to have high-quality products with safe ingredients on store shelves.
It’s about time this all went mainstream, am I right?
Primal Kitchen was founded by our good friend Mark Sisson who started the Primal Kitchen blog over a ...

Curried Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower might just be the most versatile vegetable out there.
Need a substitute for rice?
Use cauliflower. Trader Joe's has frozen and refrigerated riced cauliflower that takes the work out of everything. It's kind of the best thing ever.
Need a substitute for mashed potatoes?
Cauliflower.
Want a sneaky way to add veggies and fiber to your morning smoothie?
You guessed it. Cauliflower.
You can even make pizza crusts out of cauliflower. It's a little bit involved, if I'm being honest, but you can do it. And once you master it, it's pretty great. Especially if you're a pizza lover.
The other great thing about ...

Paleo Sliders – The Best Holiday Party Appetizer
Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK. What?! Can you believe it? I'm having a hard time coping with that fact. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we were setting New Years goals.
Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.
The holiday season is my favorite. There seems to be an energy that buzzes through places when the holidays roll around. People seem a little lighter, a little happier. And there's so much celebrating. Life is short and that simple fact makes celebrations that much more meaningful. Being able to spend time with the people you love, share food, share drinks, share laughter, time, and gifts is something that's really ...
